Looking for some help on my problem with my 93 all wheel drive. I'm hoping someone has had this same problem since I could not find any searches on this. I bought the car used and built two cars into one. So I am not sure what's happening...

...Everytime I turn a corner or make a u turn, my rear wheels seem to lock up or turn with alot of resistance. Going straight seems okay but my et's were way down this past year.HELP!!!

I'm guessing either the transfercase is the wrong one, the transmission diff is messed or the rear calipers are seized and are only affected when turning the most. PLEASE HELP!!

Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Paul wink

Rezza Mirza told me he had the EXACT same prob. He said the t-case and rear end were different ratios. It drived fine at first then progressivly had gotten worse till it locked up on him. Mabey get a hold of him and compare symptoms. He is very informatable on this subject.

BTW, havent seen you around in a while!

Yes, You too Rob. Thanks. With the baby here in a short period; the mods will have to be at the minimum-no paint either. Got a welder for Christmas though. laugh

Amin, I'm not sure what to answer...93 awd 4 bolt diff. It may have a different transfer case for all I know. The motor was a JDM for crying out loud. Anybody else know. confused

Yes Paul, I think thats your problem. There were some JDM engines that came with a diferent gear ratio in the T-case. I remeber being told this. I say talk to Rezza man. He too had a JDM t-case I beleive. I'll PM you his e-mail address.
